option to convert incoming HTML formatted emails to plain text. I don't
know the english name of that option (I am using a german version of
Outlook) but you'll find it under

Tools | Options | Settings | E-Mail-Options

Hmm...I'm digging around in there but don't see an option that says to
convert incoming mail. I can find the outgoing email format, but not
incoming.

Sorry, in Outlook 2007 the option switched to:

Tools | Trust Center | E-Mail-Security
